Musiq has a new song, “If You Leave”, featuring Mary J. Blige. After what 4 albums…it’s about time that Musiq gets the chance to collab with Mary. I’m really feeling this joint…like everything with Mary, it’s rooted in those everyday problems that people go through. I would love to see this as a single, because [...]
Ne-Yo has a new video for his song “She Got Her Own” featuring Fabolous and Jamie Foxx. This is your standard video taped on a soundstage with dozens of models and celebrity cameos. In this video I spotted Jill Marie Jones, Eve (who’s scraggly micro-braids are HIDEOUS), Keyshia Cole, and Estelle…not too shabby. I like [...]
Ryan Leslie has an alternate version of his video for “Addiction” featuring Cassie and Fabolous. In this version Ryan Leslie takes more of a starring role and switches up the main video chicks. This video is more fitting for the song, with a more dramatic plot and a surprisingly sinister feel. Ryan just needs to [...]
R. Kelly has a new video for his song “Skin”. Before I say anything else, can we please get a slow clap for the end of an era…first it was Trey Songz, then it was Omarion, and now FINALLY R. Kelly let the cornrows go! Unfortunately I will no longer be able to snap on [...]
Ne-Yo has been all over the map lately. When “Closer” dropped, he stated how he was “bored with R&B” and wanted to make a more “international” sound challenging urban R&B. Ironically, Stargate – Ne-Yo’s main production team are from Norway – brought forth their blend of acoustic guitar, European pop, and hip-hop [...]
Alicia Keys rocks it out for the theme song to the new James Bond movie called “Anotha Way To Die” featuring Jack White. You can barely tell this is Alicia except for at a few points, but I think it’s cool that she managed to switch up her soulful vocals and go for a totally [...]
TI has a new song called “Dead & Gone” featuring Justin Timberlakethat will appear on his new album. I’m really digging this track. TI sounds much more serious and somber about his life than some of the reckless bravado (i.e. “Hurt”) on a lot of his new material, which I think is an understandable shift. [...]
John Legend has a new song called “It’s Over” featuring Kanye West. HOT!!! I’m so loving this…I’m feeling the semi-New Jack Swing production (do I hear SWV “Anything Remix” in there? I know that’s a sample too but whatev)! Kanye’s verse is hot…JL and Kanye are like a dream team, so I’m glad to hear [...]
Jadakiss has a new song called “By My Side” featuring Ne-Yo. Wow…I’m shocked at Jada coming out with a song like this…it is a totally different sound than what we’ve heard from him. Sure he is the guest MC king and he has held his own on a variety of songs, but for his solo [...]
Kanye West has leaked his song “Love Lockdown” with re-done vocals and new drums. I will admit I wasn’t falling over myself in love with this song at first, but the changes that Kanye made totally upgrades the song. His vocals are much more crisp and the drums add more intensity to the song. HM [...]
